The West Virginia Railroad Com
pany had meeting in town on Sat
urday, the 25th. Routine business
was transacted. The President and
stockholders expressed themselves
as highly gratified with the progress
of the work, under the supervision
of Mr.. Pitcairn, as well as with the
resources of the country being open
ed up. The value of it's coal and
timber is very great, and will insure
their immediate working. Conse-
quently this county will enjoy an
immediate boom. Mr. A. j. Whar-
ton took the contract of cutting
$4,000 feet of trestling for the road
here in the edge of town, and Mr..
George Vance the contract of haul
ing it.

Rev. w. F. Anderson preached to
quite a large congregation at the
M. E. church on Sunday morning
last. His text was "Come and See"
found in the gospel of ST. John.
The speaker first noted the fact that
Christ's religion as system was
not propogated by force, but by
peace and love. All are asked to
study its claims and investigate it's
teachings for themselves. Seeing
is believing" No one is compelled
to accept its truth. The portrayal
of Christ's nature and mission was
one of the finest we have heard.
The sermon was replete, not only
with arguments for the doubter, but
with the love of Christ for the hui
man soul. The diction was the pur-
est, the style chaste and all in all
one of the most complete and per-
fectly rounded out sermons one ever
hears. Will is thoroughly in earn
est and gives his whole soul to his
work. He has had careful and
thorough training for his great life
calling, and we predict for him a
career of great success and useful
| ness.

mencement exercises at Washington
and Jefferson College, Washington,
Pa. This college-the result of the
unification of Washington College
with jefferson College, twenty-five
years ago-is one of the best insttu-
lions in the land Many eminent
men of our State are her Alumni,
and she always has quite number
of West Virginia boys in her halls.
This was the eighty-ffth annual
commencement and one Of the most
interesting occasions in the history
of the institution. The school was
never in a more hourishing condi-
ton. Under the present administra
ton of Rev. Jas. d. Moffat, d. D.,
formerly pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church, Wheeling, it is rap
idly increasing in power and will
continue to do in the future as it has
in the past, send such men into the
world as will fill the highest offices,
as has been said: cat the end of the
next twenty years it will not be sur
prising to hear some one say, as JAS.
G. Blaine did, that during his pro-
tracted career in the Congress of the
United States he met more men who
were the graduates of his alma
mater, Washington and Jefferson,
than any other college in the coun-
try"
The graduates this year numbered
thirty, among whom were two West
Virginia boys, Charles A. Lippin-
colt, of Piedmont, and James
Palmer, of Wellsburg. Both young
men are favorably spoken of as schol-
arly young gentlemen. Mr.. Palmer
took the English Literature prize of
the college.

Ihe negroes have never been used to
any thing different to what they get,
passing from slavery into freedom with
out scarcely being aware OF the change.
They have known their masters all their
lives, and u feeling OF dependence has
been inculcated in them that makes them
loath to leave the old plantation and start
life on their own responsibility. They get
all they want to eat and drink, and
enough clothes for the ex,gencies of the
climate. which is very mild and it is not
to be wondered at that they still consider
themselves the property OF their masters

days ago seut a. Med. Wilson. OF this
city, to whom he owed small amount. a
OF security, d mortgage ON "one negro

rendered to the crossroads merchant by
cure debt due the grocer, and the grocer
indorsed the note and sent it to Mr.. wills
son, together with the mortgage, in pay
ment OF the amount due Mr.. Wilson. The
mortgage was laid i'll perfect security.
The unhappy negro was accurately de.
scribcd. In the description his name was
given as Joe Addison, and his age was put
at sixty-ive. The des cription closed with,
these words: "He came to nue. by my
father and has been my property for
twenty years" The mortgage bears the
date of July Is, 1885. The maker Of the
mortgage evidently fingers under the i'm
preston that toe negro is still his slave
and that he has a right to buy a loan On
nis head as he did beyond the Sixties and
what is still more singular the merchant
to whom the mortgage was given did not
see any thing wrong in the security Of
fered. Mr. Wilson returned the note and
the mortgage, telling the party that he
preferred some more tangible security.
